A3 touching with FAITH is what healed. Pondering how many would have touched Jesus in that crowd & only this woman was healed. Quality of faith.... superlative

[Dilip @dilipkjena]

#HealthyFaithChat Q3: This woman who suffered for 12 years said to herself, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” and as she touched his garments, "she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease." (Mark 5:27-29). Why did touching Jesus heal her?

A2 all I can imagine abt him fm the passage is how patient he was!!

& therefore it teaches me to be patient & trust Jesus is never late. Faith must fight fear in waiting.

[Dilip @dilipkjena]

#HealthyFaithChat Q2: As Jesus proceeded to help Jairus's daughter, who was at the point of death, Jesus was delayed by a woman who needed healing herself. What do you think Jairus was thinking (guess)? How does this shape your wait for an answer from Jesus?

A1 a dying child's father, who genuinely believed!! Thts one of the driving force

& Jesus is reaching out to genuine faith.. Saviour's mercy indiscriminate!!

[Dilip @dilipkjena]

#HealthyFaithChat Q1: While the religious leaders, from the region where Jairus was one of the rulers of the synagogue, were plotting to destroy Jesus (Mark 3:6), why would Jairus risk calling on Jesus, and why would Jesus help those who would kill him?

A8 consequence is same as the core issue is same- unrepentant
Inherit judgement & eternal loss

[Rachael M Colby @RachaelColby7]

Q8 How is it that this variety of sin all has the same consequence?

— What will the unrepentant inherit instead? #HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A7 it can sound shocking/unfair..bt its wise as it sets the priority of Christ's reputation & church unity. Perspective of willingness to be wronged fr a higher good. Outcome fr a long term gospel witness n peace.

[Rachael M Colby @RachaelColby7]

Q7 How is this counsel wise? Is it fair?

*At what event and who in the Bible responded to being wronged like this?

Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? (1 Corinthians 6:7 NLT) #HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A6 as believers lose the battle fr love, unity, forgiveness, maturity, gospel witness.. The dispute reveal about what's in heart & priorities!!

[Rachael M Colby @RachaelColby7]

Q6 How is it a defeat for believers to sue each other? Explain.

Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. (1 Corinthians 6:7 NLT) #HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A5 problematic as this behavior turns church into a spectacle..
This behavior can showcase no real difference in Christian behavior, incompetent, untrustworthy.. It undermines even testimony.
All this can harden them against gospel, push away fm church

[Rachael M Colby @RachaelColby7]

Q5 Why is this behavior problematic?

What does this communicate to unbelievers and what negative impact could it have on them?

But instead, one believer sues another—right in front of unbelievers! (1 Corinthians 6:6 NLT) #HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A3 Because church is community of redeemed, governed by Him & His word. Outsiders don't share our identity, our ultimate accountability to God.. They ain't right people to settle matters among God's ppl.

[Rachael M Colby @RachaelColby7]

Q3 Why are unbelievers not recommended by Scripture to settle disputes between believers in the church? Why do they have “no standing?”

So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? (1 Cor 6:4 ESV) #HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A2 know that it will be in final judgement times..
Judging is about exercising authority in new creation under Christ's leadership

[Rachael M Colby @RachaelColby7]

Q2 When will we judge? What will we judge angels about?

Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world?...Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life. (1 Cor 6:2-3 NLT)
#HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A1 because believers still struggle with sin,brokenness n live in fallen world.
Dragging to courts shows their vindictive nature,, all about winning & not reconciliation, wanting immediate justice.

[Rachael M Colby @RachaelColby7]

Q1 Why are there disputes among believers? Why do some take them to unbelievers?

When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! (1 Cor 6:1)#HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
I had to say No to few instructions at work which violated our values. God gives us wisdom, boldness. Spirit helps us not to compromise, giving us courage to stand firm.

[Rudi & Ronda K @rudirondak]

Q6
Describe a situation where you had to go against orders that were against your Christian beliefs. How did God help you do this?

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A5 As the verse says it...so definitely she had compassion/pity & also it was God's sovereign hand at work. She had compassion hence the action followed- helping the baby out.

[Rudi & Ronda K @rudirondak]

#HealthyFaithChat
Q5
Compassion is also translated as “pity” or “to spare”. Was God's Hand upon Pharaoh's daughter, or was it pity for a crying baby?
Why did she defy Pharaoh's order to kill the child? Explain.

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A2 Scripture presents it as bathing..

[Rudi & Ronda K @rudirondak]

#HealthyFaithChat
Q2
Pharaohs performed formalized purification rituals using Nile water at temple entrances to symbolize rebirth and prosperity.

Exod 2:5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the Nile, while her maidens walked along the Nile…

Was she bathing or performing a ritual?Or was she cleansing herself from idolatry?

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

A8 Real growth happens hidden, invisible ways..divine process. Kingdom advances not by human striving alone bt by God's sovereign ways. 2/2

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

A8 that the sower role is limited bt essential. One who scatters does his part of proclaiming, sharing God's word.. he then doesn't hover/micromanage or fully understand the process. 1/2

My bad here is Q5 For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.” Explain the meaning and apply it to our lives. #HealthyFaithChat

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A7 its His delight... meeting expectation.. honoring.
This group of people are so encouraging, accomplishing the purpose, edifying... ❤

[Dilip @dilipkjena]

#HealthyFaithChat Last question for today, Q7: The fourth and last group of people hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” How would Jesus treat them, and what should be your approach for this group of people in fellowships?

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A5 a very enthusiastic, excited group without much deep rooting.
This group needs discipleship programs

[Dilip @dilipkjena]

#HealthyFaithChat Q5: How do you understand the second group of listeners who receive the word with joy and endure for a while, but when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, they immediately fall away? What is your approach for this group for evangelism?

[Grace @ShinyJohn19]

#HealthyFaithChat
A4 this group r often exposed to many ideas bt deeply rooted to none.. They ain't beyond hope, soil can be broken up over time..
Approach would be patient, relational. The good soils were once like this in hard paths

[Dilip @dilipkjena]

#HealthyFaithChat Q4: How do you understand persons in whom the word of God is planted, and Satan comes and immediately snatches it away? As an application, what approach would you take in sharing Biblical truth with them?
